Micheal Scofield! You think I'd give that information or you think he didn't try?

I raised an issue on nairaland about some years back ,seun and his mods didn't understand why I raised the matter then and it was on members been able to delete their moniker and all data. I said then that nairaland has kidnappers,hired killers ,murderers,thieves,rapists and also good ppl as members who are members here even majority of our politicians are nl members ,that seun should allow ppl to delete their membership,then he didn't agree but thank God that he has now. Yesterday I was going through a thread and ppl were threatening each other and something told me that a time will come ppl will be killing themselves due to comments. the point of this is to warn everyone on nl to be very very careful your personal information which u post on any social media.Don't post sensitive personal information about urself that can easily single u out for attack. Most of the victims of this so called owerri man must have posted their numbers and name on this site at one time or the other . Try to censor the things u post. May God help us all .

But seriously guys I have been thinking about opening a private investigation agency here in Nigeria because none exists and our police units seem not to either know what they are doing or they are overwhelmed or just plain lazy.

What do you think? Will it work down here? I read about criminal activities everywhere on NL and ita all a cry for help as far as I am concerned. What do u think?

Oga, please advice a business man who finds nairaland a good market, on how to sell his product and/or services without any contact details.

You need to be realistic when discussing issues.

I understand the feeling.
Evil is prevailing exceedingly in the country.
Scams are becoming more elaborate every day.

So.. I got a call a while ago from one Mr David and this conversation transpired between us.

Mr David: Hello, is this Dominion?

Me: That's correct.

Mr David: I'm David, I got your contact details on Nairaland and I love your jobs. I have a project in Owerri and I'm hoping if you will be available to work for me too.

Me: That shouldn't be a problem Sir. Kindly send the drawings so as to give quote.

Mr David: The problem is that we didn't eventually follow the initial plan for we did a lot of amendments. You will have to take the trip to take your measurements and advice on what other things you can do for me.

Me: That's alright Sir. When do you want me to come around?

Mr David: They just started the roofing. I'll contact you again whenever I want you to come and send you the site supervisor's number because I wouldn't be in town.

Me: That's alright

Like I always do, I searched for the number(08154806413) on Truecaller immediately he dropped and the result was 'Patrick'. Searched on Nairaland, no match found. Eventually stored his number with Mr DavidPatrick Owerri NL

Fast forward to 2days ago. I was in Jos about to take a trip to Porthacourt to go measure and quote for a project when Mr David called again.

Mr David: Hello Dominion

Me: Good evening Sir.

Mr David: Will you be able to come around tomorrow? I need you to check the project and give a quote for we are on a fast track.

Me: Tomorrow is perfect Sir. I will be in Porthacourt, coming to Owerri when I'm done shouldn't be a problem.

Mr David: Good. Call me when you are in town.

Me: Alright Sir.

Now I remembered what a very popular painter on Nairaland(your guess is as good as mine) told me when we met at a site few weeks ago. How he was kidnapped after honouring an invitation to quote for a project. He was escorted by 4 harmed men every night to the ATM machine till he emptied over 600k in his account before he was released! Well... His way ain't my way. Owerri project is a reality

It was pretty late before I was done in Porthacourt but still made the trip to Owerri. Got to Owerri around 10pm, found my way to a nearby hotel and it was a new day.

I sent Mr David a text this morning that I'm in town, he replied that I should contact the site supervisor Mr Kingsley 08143060729 so he can take me to site. I did my 'as usual' searches but this time, I got no results.

No cause for alarm. Everything still seems normal. It's a happy day after all...

Don't do it, bad idea. You will get killed. Nigeria don't support Cowboys.

Chubhie:

Nne, abegi come and check if caterpillar fit enter my front gate.

adeekiti:
And the worst part of it , the idiot fit dey here dey read dis thread, my advice is let the client pay into your account first for commitment before going to the site for measurement or quotes, go with either 2 or 3 people and let them hang around while u go and meet the client, always gather enough details about the customer before involving in anything with a client , always keep in touch with your families and friends , I knew how I handled my recent client whose location was far from mine and he gave all details of his even before I agree to take the next move with him, always take your time to gather enough info before going to meet your client . May God protect us, Let's be more conscious and alert. God bless Nairaland and bless Seun

Imanuelle:



They will use scam as an excuse

toprealman:
YOU DIDN'T GET MY THE POINT, DID YOU?

Sanchez01:

For how long would one keep up using military folks as escort to seeing a client? I don't really think this is a good idea. This should be very simple if properly dealt with; DO NOT meet with people, particularly online folks in a secluded area. Best bet is meeting them in an open place, that way one could assess them and probably 'size' them.

aspirebig:


But that is where we are in Nigeria.

Too

If you have any services to render and I call your number, you sound fumny, I look for an alternative solution that is very transparent immediately.

onatisi:
bros , are u not a nigerian ? The cases u are reading here are about kidnapping and robbery cases , there are hundreds of such cases that happen which are never reported because the victims were killed for ritual purposes. The perpetrators of this are not into ritual or body parts sales hence they allowed their victims to go after collecting their money. The op should know that he isn't smart at all and infact he is the easiest target of all time he was only very lucky. What would have happened if the criminals actually came to his hotel room to pick him up , won't he have followed them ?? Many victims of such tricks never had the opportunity of returning talk less of talking about it.

Gbenke:
I was not lucky?atall. this same David called me for a tiling?job in Owerri last week . i was in Owerri last Friday and just as your story went so was mine. i was taken to an uncompleted building where i was da dipossesed of all my belongings at gun point . i was tied hand and leg while my Atm cards were taken to the bank to empty mt accounts. i just thank God they were satisfied with all they got and let me go.
Let us all be more careful as we search for our daily bread.

do yu know d area Mr. David took you to in Owerri. It is high time we expose these evil doers. Which area in Owerri was the uncompleted building
